In humans this name is used for an abnormality in which the middle digits are missing, leaving only the thumb and fifth finger, or big and little toes.
That may be a lot better than at the present, when they may have only little toes to stand on.
The fifth metatarsal bone starts to protrude outward, while the little toe moves inward.
This condition often manifests in the form of lateral (little toe side) foot pain and sometimes general foot weakness.
The largest and longest muscles of the little toe is the abductor digiti minimi.
Except for supporting the arch, it plantar flexes the little toe and also acts as an abductor.
So it would seem that it was your little toe that stopped us from hearing your lovely voice.
But that might cause me to stub my little toe on a trip wire.
